The Atlanta Falcons teased their fans by dressing their starters before Friday night’s preseason matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr. warmed up, but Taylor Heinicke got the start at quarterback.

Heinicke, who has been mentioned as a possible trade candidate ahead of the 53-man roster deadline, has already made a couple of nice plays in the first half against Jacksonville.

Watch as the veteran QB goes under a Jaguars defender to avoid the sack before completing a Brett Favre-style pass to running back Carlos Washington.

Henicke used his feet again in the first quarter, rolling to the right and finding tight end John FitzPatrick. Watch as FitzPatrick hurdles the Jaguars defender after making the catch, as shared by the team’s Twitter account below:
